Right now, I'm still in pain.
I went to the doctor yesterday. He gave me a (BIG HOT) cortisone shot in my lower spine, a quick acting anti-inflammatory shot in my butt, a prescription for thirty Vicodin, thirty 800mg Ibuprophen, something called Flexotril for muscle relaxation and a series of prednosone.
Recommended two days of bedrest and no bending or lifting for a week.

I still can't walk very far without my right leg going numb, then it feels like my leg catches fire if I don't get off my feet.
This is fucked up! It is new to me to have this kind of unmanageable pain.
